• Episode 316: The Quiet Before the Dragonstorm

  We looked at nine Magic Online Modern Challenges that fired in the unique week between a Modern ban and Dragonstorm: Tarkir's online debut. On this week's show, we benchmark the current Modern format, and look ahead at some possible new tech from the upcoming set. Boros Energy is back on top but Eldrazi is not far behind. Can combo, midrange, or even control decks carve out a place for themselves in the format as Modern RCQ season goes into full swing? Will Ugin, Eye of the Storms put Tron back on the map? Is Stock Up poised to make a splash in Modern? What's the new Mox Opal deck?

• Episode 315: Underworld, Breached

  This week we react to one of the least surprising bans in recent Modern history and say goodbye to Underworld Breach. Dave, Devon, and Stan react, make predictions about what we think is next, and talk a little about unbans and why they might not have happened this time. Once we finish up with Modern, we take a quick peek at Pioneer/Explorer (what is even going on there?) and answer a listener question about RCQ prep. • A Modern Ban • A Pioneer Break • Some RCQ Prep Become a citizen of The Dive Down Nation!: http://www.patreon.com/thedivedown Show the world that you're a proud citizen of The Dive Down Nation with some merch from the store: https://www.thedivedown.com/store Upgrade your gameplay and your gameday with Heavy Play accessories.
